82 430 Cr 40mm Fork Help And Shock Length

read all the post on the 40mm improvements very confusing ,first of what seals are best new damper rod piston ring a must is there a how to on drilling the damper rods .ie size of hole and spacing , can get yss pd valves and springs more easily than racetek in the uk any one got a set up. think ill go for new springs first . the ohlins look to short 16 1/4 think there of a rm or ktm .someone fitted itc rod ends thanks

gosh gee willikins thats a spiel right there...im still trying to decipher it OK here goes.. seals (ärf arf") there are kawasaki 39 51? - 11 seals that fit and work well. Phil at Husqvarnaparts.com has good seals as well. yes, you need to replace the damper top out rings regularly. There are kits about (pro circuit) that have replacement damper rods...i havent found any specs on redrilling the stockers. springs are important and all say they replace with shorter springs to give less preload but consult a spring mob for all the details. the jury is out on whether ITC is better than std ohlins damper sets...best ride a few and see. there are good ohlins shock guys about with subtle damping adjustments. a respring for your conditions could be advisable... i think i covered most of it

thanks the shocks are to short think 17 25 is the length there not itc. looked on ebay art do seals skf do a 40 52.25 50uk !!!

Hi Robin. If you could please proof-read your posts it would be much easier to help you.

thanks for the help the shocks for the 82 are 17 25 long. not going for new springs 160 uk !!! going for yss pd valves and cut springs ,do need help on drilling damper rods and oil type .air gap

Robin, have a word with Robin at Falcon Shocks. His springs may be cheaper. I have also used rally car springs from Rally Design or similar. The i.d./o.d. is a couple of mm bigger but they work just fine. Best of all they are cheap.
I only bought a set as I couldn't find the rate I wanted and refused to keep spending silly money on springs that were too hard.

thanks growty . a guy rang me to day hes got yss pd valves in std springs 190 ag 10w on a 510 83 think he's 14 to 15 stone far to soft his other 510!! got 98 rm forks i did not no that falcon did fork springs . there a spring supplier near me falconer , they custom made me fork springs for a 70s italjet cx50 100 uk so andy's 160 not far of

Sorry, I thought it was shock springs you wanted. Don't think he does fork springs.
